Your Say
I can say, with great confidence, that this method is highly effective. I've employed it for years and no one- not even my wife, has a clue how bald I really am.
Honest!

I once had a boss who had this same baldness pattern. He adopted what I called "The Turban". He grew his remaining hairs into Rapunzel-like lengths, then wrapped them around, and around...and around his dome. We were in the NC mountains one winter day when a full Arctic blow hit, launching an episode I was to witness numerous times over ten years. His "Turban" came unwrapped, the precious strands of hair pulled helter-skelter as he frantically whirled, ducked, and danced in the parking lot, failing to keep the wrap intact. My only thought at that moment, and every one after, was: "Good God, man, buy a hat!".

It's called a "comb over" and is embarrassingly obvious to all except apparently the users.

There's no such thing as a "good" comb-over. They all look bad, some ludicrously so. Instead, just bite the bullet, embrace the baldness, and get your hair buzzed short. I did that years ago, and never regretted it.

Bald is bold.
